Thanks, Flaps10,
Sounds like it could be worth it to figure out what the OBD codes really mean, as well as having the ability to reset indicator lights, etc.
My friend has a Boxster and a Cayman, both 2011+, so mine will be the third car on the Durametric, as they only allow 3 VINs to be in use at one time. I'll be paying one third of the cost.
